On July 5, 2021 shortly after 8 p.m. the Canora RCMP received a report of a suspicious vehicle (an orange coloured crossover/SUV) parked along Tiny grid road near the Burgis Beach turnoff.
RCMP officers and EMS arrived and located two deceased males inside the vehicle, stated an RCMP release. At this time their deaths are considered suspicious and the RCMP Major Crime Unit North has taken the lead on this investigation.
Investigators are seeking information from the public about the activities of the orange-coloured 2013 Dodge Journey SUV. The vehicle was known to be in the areas of Burgis Beach/Good Spirit Lake, the Town of Canora and City of Yorkton on Monday, July 5.
Investigators would like to speak with anyone who may have traveled along Tiny grid road near the Burgis Beach turnoff in the late afternoon or early evening July 5 or encountered the vehicle at any of the other locations. Even seemingly minimal information may be important to this investigation; we encourage anyone with information to please report it by calling Canora RCMP at 306-563-4700, 310-RCMP or you can report it anonymously through Crime Stoppers: 1-800-222-8477.
An autopsy has been completed on both males by the Saskatchewan Coroners Service. They have been identified as 29-year-old Bryton Lawrason and 20-year-old Seth Hildebrand, both of Edmonton. Their families have been notified.
Both deaths are considered homicides and cause of death will not be released as the information is part of the ongoing investigation. To be clear, this is not a homicide-suicide investigation.
